I have photos of all these pins and/or own them, and there are many red flags. Hopefully, he will want the proof and then sell them as repros.

The biggest red flag is the back which is obviously modern on a 1914 Braves pin and the same back on a 1920 Dodger pin and many others. The other pins in question are 29 Cubs, 51 Cleve, 49 NYY, 43 Philly, 61 SF, and 49 Brooklyn.

Just did not want anyone here to think they are genuine.
Happy Holidays to all!
